By completing the application, your family may qualify for:

• Internet Access Assistance – Help in securing low-cost internet services for your home
• Meals – In addition to school meals currently provided for all students by federal funding, your child may qualify for food to take home for the weekend from the Concho Valley Regional Food Bank’s Food2Kids backpack program.
• Lower Fees for Student Testing – Reduced rates for registration fees for Advanced Placement (AP) courses, and college prep tests like SAT and ACT
• Lower College Applications Fees - Reduced costs for student college application fees to support your child’s future
• Additional Resources for Schools – Funds to support materials for your child’s school like Chromebooks, iPads, hotspots for internet service, and take-home to read book packs

Even if your child brings their lunch to school, or you think your family might not qualify, please consider completing the short application.
